The criminal complaint stated, “as police gathered outside the vehicle waiting for medics to arrive, the mother exited the bar and attempted to get in the car and drive away.”

Officers said Hymes was visibly intoxicated.

Howard left the bar a short time later, and police said he caused a “disturbance with his voice, and failed to obey police orders.”

The boy is now in the custody of Children Youth and Families.

Hymes and Howard were jailed on $100,000 bond with a preliminary hearing set for July 9.
